  1. BeCareful!

    West pilots appeal to the Supreme Court

    Is that really the "whole reason" for ALPA merger policy? I didn't know that. What if two groups are the same size? Then, no need for policy? That's sort of a weird thing to say. Not that I care since we aren't ALPA now anyway. Just a curious point.

    USAPA resignation

    They also opined what fair was, and Nic wasn't mentioned there. What they said was to stay within a "wide range of reasonableness." Let's see, AFA....doh.....IAM.....doh....every other group....doh. Somehow, somewhere in all of those done-deal integrations there must be a shred of "wide range...

    USAPA resignation

    Neither can USAPA, which is why their proposal doesn't even remotely resemble your "pole-vault" story. That would be completely impossible due to the extremely west-favorable C&R's, but I know you guys like your drama. Your remark is inflammatory and shows that you haven't even taken the time to...

    Seniority dispute ends at US Airways

    Total inflammatory nonsense. No one would return from furlough and be able to hold PHX Captain. Why does misrepresenting the truth make you guys so horny? What is it about blathering total garbage on FI.com trying to get mesa pilots to worship you that gets you off so much? And to finish with...

    Near-miss MSP

    Expertly, how? They just got lucky. I'm really glad no one was hurt. I want to know if the Beach 99 pilots read back his immediate left turn instructions. If not, then the controller should have mandated a readback. If he did, then he almost killed a bunch of people by not following through.

    USAPA facing another challenge.....Despair

    TWA Dude, I don't have the answer to this question, and it's somewhat snide of you to imply that I do. It's an honest question, so why not take a stab at it: if the 9th says you need a contract to prove harm, so that it's ripe, then getting a contract is the only way to move back into court...

    USAPA facing another challenge.....Despair

    And by the way, the union's existence is NOT simply to get a contract, as you say. It also protects the careers of would-be-terminated pilots, protect the sanctity of the training department, oversee contract compliance, etc, etc. USAPA has and will continue to protect all the pilots, including...

    USAPA facing another challenge.....Despair

    Bird, There's so much misinformation here it's tough to know where to start. Here, how about you tell us why you think the Mediated negotiations we are in right now won't produce results. Then, tell us about this "gutting" for DOH. what? Yeah, like the Nic won't cause 10000 training cycles to...

    USAPA facing another challenge.....Despair

    Well there you have it, folks: He did everything in his power. Do you people have any freekin' idea how powerful Lance Svendsen is?!?!?!?! Good God, let's not even discuss it!

    USAPA facing another challenge.....Despair

    Ah....classy! Who, except the courts, has the power to make that happen? If a USAPA leader tried to float the NIC they would fail. So, there's no one who is going to make that come about. It takes two to have a stalemate like this. Get a contract and then sue! It's a win-win for you guys, right?
  13. BeCareful!

    USAPA facing another challenge.....Despair

    ...757 pay is worth selling out the whole industry. What I don't get is this: why not join forces with us to get a quality contract? If you're so *&^%$%$# sure you'll win "DFRII" then it seems to me the fastest way to get that thing filed is with a joint contract that "harms" you. Jesus, let's...

    Recall of USAPA President Mike Cleary

    Yep, we agree on that. But you say "either way." Well it isn't either way, and it isn't both ways. It's one way. As they used to say in journalism....words matter. These days, particularly on the Internet, people say a lot of irresponsible stuff. Do we agree on that?

    Recall of USAPA President Mike Cleary

    Revisionist history. Prater tried to push the East into accepting ALPA's decades of failure and lack of pure representation. It bit him in the a$$.

    Well said, Turtle.

    Seniority dispute ends at US Airways

    The people appointed to that committee are the best ones for the job. Their hire date has nothing to do with anything. As far as progress, the company and outside circumstances have a lot to do with that.

    US Airways Pilot/FA Recall

    Tweak - ALPA negotiated those rates. Further, what short term gain could any east pilot be getting by, as you say, denying contractual progress? We want a contract, like, yesterday! Your viewpoint here is totally unclear.

    126 day left of Prater.....

    Couldn't agree more with the original poster. Prater is a spineless political slug, and he's not done anything to write home about. Age 65 came to us with no creative solutions to help the junior pilot at any airline. His handling of the USAir merger was pathetic, no matter which side of that...

    Seniority dispute ends at US Airways

    You are such a joke. Nothing....NOTHING....in your list is accurate. If you weren't so blinded by your un-cashable lottery ticket, and your un-realized jump into widebody equipment your little desert airline was NEVER going to operate again, then you might be able to see that. Everything USAPA...

    Seniority dispute ends at US Airways

    Stupidest Post of the Thread Makes C. Festerpuss look like the genius he is! Single function? USAPA's doing everything ALPA did and more. There's a review of what USAPA's done on the website. Read that and then say they don't "do" anything. Does posting useless rhetoric like this in public get...

    Seniority dispute ends at US Airways

    Not an issue at all, really. If we lose it'll be just another day working under deplorable ALPA wages. Just like yesterday. But....if we win....hmmmm. Wonder if you guys will want parity?
